Should identify the land to the west of Leamington Spa Railway Station as having potential for large format convenience goods retailing.

The site could accommodate in the region of 3,000 sq.m gross of retail sales floorspace. The site is edge of centre and within close proximity to the train station. Very unlikely to have an impact on the town centre, or the Ford Foundry site. Would improve the environment. No other sites available.

Need to re-assess the Station Area Development Brief in the LDF process and ensure greater clarity in the policy framework to guide appropriate retail development.
